Fall Injury: Failure To Warn.

The owner of property has a duty to warn the public of a dangerous
condition in many instances. Give us a call and we can explain to you
the type of conditions that typically require a warning by the owner.
If, for example, a water spill happens, then the property owner may or
may not have a duty to post a warning immediately. We will give you a
free consultation about whether the property owner or occupier in
your case can be liable for your injuries. Let us investigate the
dangerous condition and help determine whether you can recover for
the property owner's failure to warn or post a sign.

No Fee Unless We Recover.
Our Goal: Your Peace of Mind

You deserve to know your rights following a slip or fall related injury.
Our injury attorneys will sit down with you and answer all your
questions. An attorney (not a paralegal) will discuss your case with
you in detail, free of charge. You will come away from our meeting
with a full undertanding of your case and some peace of mind.


Experience Pays.

An experienced trial attorney can evaluate the premises and determine
whether the uneven ground was the type that could allow you to
recover for your injuries.


The Premises Owner and Notice.

In some instances, the premises owner must have actual notice of the
condition that made you fall. In other instances, constructive notice is
enough. We will evaluate your particular case, and whether the
premises owner knew or should have known that property was
dangerous by virtue of it being poorly lit, containing snow or ice, or
otherwise having uneven ground that made you fall.


Not Sure Who Owns the Property?

There is a statute of limitation period that governs all slip and fall
cases in Pennsylvania. Don't delay in calling us following your fall.
Moreover, if a governmental entity owns the property where you were
injured, then you must give them prompt and timely notice of the
accident.


We Will Prepare the Case.

Our accident and injury attorneys will obtain your medical records to
further evaluate the value of your fall related injury. In particular, we
will obtain your medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy records
including diagnostic tests. Our Pittsburgh trial attorneys will consider
your pre-existing conditions (if any), and we'll consider the full extent
of your new injury, such as a aggravation, sprain, strain, fracture
(broken bone), or otherwise. We will also put the property / premises
owner's insurance carrier on notice of the incident and get the case
moving forward.


We Will Investigate.

Our experienced litigators will contact the property owner and set up a
time that we (the lawyers) can actually inspect the place you fell if it
did not occur in public. We'll look at whether the property owner had
notice of a dangerous condition of the property and/or whether a
dangerous conditions still exists in the form of a broken step, uneven
ground, poorly lit conditions, or excessive ice or an unnatural
collection of water, for example. We'll interview witnesses and fully
evaluate the case to best support the allegations you are making.
We'll consider whether any other party can be fault, such as a
contractor responsible for maintaining the property and/or keeping it in
a safe condition.


We Will Negotiate.

Our Pittsburgh and Beaver County trial attorneys will work to convince
the property owner or his insurance carrier that slip and fall accident
happened as you say, and that you are entitled to the money you
seek. We can help negotiate down the value of any unpaid medical
bills in certain circumstances and/or try to prevent unpaid bills from
going into collections. We will commence litigation and aggressively
pursue your fall accident claim as your zealous advocate.
